Harry and Meghan Slam Photographers Caught Monitoring Archie and Lilibet at School

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are speaking out after photographers were spotted walking the perimeter of their children’s UK school, looking into the grounds, and monitoring students during the school day. A spokesperson for the Sussexes called the behavior“extraordinarily reckless”and an“irresponsible and ill-considered way to conduct themselves in the vicinity of a school,”emphasizing there’s a“world of difference between legitimate media activity and photographers walking the perimeter of a school.”

The incident adds to a growing list of security concerns for the couple since they moved back to the UK in August. Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, were pulled from their $35,000-a-year school after only two days due to safety worries, and Meghan’s phone number reportedly leaked after she joined a parents’WhatsApp group at the school. Two men with backpacks were identified as international photographers for a known European press agency.

The Sussexes are now seeking a security review while living as private citizens, and the debate over press freedom versus child privacy is heating up. Where do you think the line should be drawn when it comes to protecting kids at school? Sound off in the comments.
